Watt & Shand #2 in Progress

Watt & Shand #1 is essentially finished, it just needs a sleeve, a label, and photography, so I have moved on to the second one in the series. This one combines digital images with cyanotypes.

The images for this one come from photographs taken in January of 2008, when the facade was still supported by scaffolding, and someone brilliant made the decision to decorate the scaffolding with bright orange banners. I was enthralled with the total visual effect of the stone, the metal scaffolding, and the textiles.

You can see the framework of the new convention center beginning to take shape behind the facade.

If you are new here, take a moment to click on Watt & Shand in the labels sidebar to the right, and track back how this series of works is developing.

About Me

I'm an artist working with nature, environmental and architectural themes.
I draw inspiration from my surroundings in beautiful Lancaster County, PA. I employ cyanotypes, heliographic prints, and image transfers as the basis for textile works that also incorporate unusual fabrics, hand and machine stitching, and beadwork. My work has been juried into numerous national and international exhibits.
